When a president holds a press conference, ( Any president ) does he screen the questions before hand? He seemed to know who was to ask questions before hand today. Also seemed to know what the questions were going to be. No zingers

The President knows most if not all of the reporters in the room at least by name and he usually selects the one to ask the next question (thus, he in fact does know who will ask questions ;-) ...

Questions are not pre-screened. Sorry there weren't any zingers -- when the person you're questioning actually knows their schnitt the opportunities for zingers are decreased to a very low order of probability ^_^

I've always assumed it was, both to keep the conference on the topic for which the press conference had been called in the first place,...and to avoid embarrassing "Gotcha' Style" "zingers".
